Minimum wage hike weighed

San Mateo City Council discusses employers paying in line with high cost of living
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With the cost of living increasing across

the Bay Area and particularly along the
Peninsula, the San Mateo City Council will
consider increasing the minimum wage for
employees in both the private and public
sectors.
The council will host a study session

Monday evening to discuss the possible
implications of increasing minimum wages
from the states current $9 per hour to $15
per hour.
Along with the minimum wage, the city
will consider living wages, which refer to
how much one must earn to live in a particular region without public assistance; as
well as prevailing wages, or how much construction workers are paid, according to a
staff report.
Based on San Mateo County census data
between 2009 and 2013, there were nearly
47,000 low-wage workers who account for
about 13 percent of the workforce, according to the report. In their review, staff found
the vast majority of low-income workers
are between the ages of 24 and 64 and nearly 43 percent live in households with children.
Although the states minimum wage will
increase to $10 in 2016 and proposed legislation as well as a potential ballot initiative
for the November 2016 election could
increase it over time, the City Council will

Federal appeals court reverses lower court
ruling that found it was unconstitutional
By Brian Melley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Californias death penalty survived a

legal challenge Thursday when a federal appeals court
reversed a lower court ruling that had found it was unconstitutional because of excessive delays.
Without discussing the merits of a murderers claims, the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the lower court
was barred from considering a novel constitutional theory
that found delays in carrying out executions amounted to
cruel and unusual punishment.

Video released of San Bruno

robbery before suspect killed
San Jose man shot by police after he opened fire from atop St. Lukes
By Hannah Albarazi and Dennis Culver
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
San Bruno police released video surveillance footage Thursday of an armed and
apparently suicidal man who robbed a sporting goods store of a shotgun Wednesday
afternoon before he was fatally shot by
police when he opened fire atop a hospital
in San Franciscos Mission District.
The suspect, identified Thursday by the
San Francisco medical examiners office as
25-year-old San Jose resident Javier Lopez
Garcia, was fatally shot by San Francisco
police officers atop a construction site at
California Pacific Medical Centers St.
Lukes campus at 3555 Cesar Chavez St.
San Francisco police said Garcia matches
the description of an armed robbery suspect
reported at the Big 5 Sporting Goods store
at 855 El Camino Real in San Bruno roughly a half-hour before the incident atop the
hospital.
San Francisco police inspectors confirmed that a pistol and a stolen shotgun
similar to the one stolen in the robbery were
in Garcias possession when he was killed.
San Bruno police Lt. Tim Mahon said
Ballot proposal would divert

high-speed rail money to water
SACRAMENTO Two Republican lawmakers are proposing a ballot initiative
that would ask California voters to redirect
about $8 billion in bond money from the
states high-speed rail project to build water
storage.
Board of Equalization member George
Runner and Sen. Bob Huff of San Dimas said
Thursday that officers responded to a report

of an armed robbery at the sporting good
store at 3:51 p.m. Wednesday but were
unable to find the suspect.
Officers responded to the store, but were
unable to find the suspect.
However, the armed robbery was captured
on video surveillance footage that shows
the suspect, wearing white overalls with a
black sweatshirt underneath, brandish a
black semi-automatic handgun in front of
three people behind the sales counter.
San Bruno police said the suspect produced a note demanding a shotgun. The man
then proceeded to tell employees at the
sporting goods store that he was suicidal,
according to police.
The suspect took a shotgun and ammunition with him as he exited the business, San
Bruno police said.
San Francisco police officers responded at
4:15 p.m. to reports of a man armed with
multiple guns atop the hospital construction site, police said.
Responding officers heard shots being
fired and came across a man, later identified
as Garcia, standing on top of a construction
elevator and pointing a rifle at the hospital.
Around the state

they filed language Thursday for the initiative.
It would also authorize shifting $2.7 billion in unspent water bond money to water
storage construction and amend the state
constitution to give drinking water and irrigation priority from Californias limited
water supply.
Police said Garcia then lowered the rifle

and pointed it down toward the officers.
Three officers fired at Garcia, who died at the
scene.
As the incident was unfolding, San Bruno
police contacted San Francisco police to
determine whether the shooter matched the
description of the man wanted for the sporting goods store robbery.
Following the shooting, police performed a protective sweep of the construction area and hospital but did not find any
other suspects or victims. No injuries to
officers or civilians were reported.
Officers are examining Garcias vehicle,
which was located at the scene.
According to the medical examiners
office, an autopsy examination is being
conducted to determine Garcias cause of
death.
San Francisco police said they plan to
release the names of the officers involved in
the shooting 10 days after the incident and
that they are working to schedule an town
hall meeting to discuss the incident with the
community.

Paying with digital options from Venmo to Facebook

By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK Cash is passe, say digital

mavens. If you really want to pay your friends
back for that pizza party, use an app to shoot
money to their mobile-phone number or
their Facebook account.
Such technology-enabled peer-to-peer payments are growing quickly. Forrester
Research predicts mobile peer-to-peer payments will hit $17 billion by 2019, growing
an average of 26 percent annually. That compares with expectations of total U.S. mobile
payments of $142 billion by that year.
PayPal and its Venmo service have carved
out an early lead in the arena, particularly
among millennials. Venmo has been growing by leaps and bounds: It processed $2.4
billion in payments in 2014 and almost that
much $2.1 billion in the most recent
third quarter alone.
The buzz has grown loud enough that even
Apple may join the fray, perhaps as early as
next year, according to recent reports. (Apple
declined to comment.) Though its not yet
time to throw away your checkbook; peer-topeer payments are still just a sliver of total
online spending.
Heres a closer look at your current options
for blasting digital dollars to your online
acquaintances:
PAYPAL
How it works: PayPal lets you send money
directly to other people via its website or
app, much the same way you can use the service for online shopping. It also offers a dedicated site called PayPal.Me, which generates
personal links you can send to your deadbeat
friends so they can transfer money directly to
your PayPal account.
Payment limit: No limit if youve linked
your bank account to PayPal, but $10,000
dollars if youre paying via a linked credit
card.
Fees: None if youre sending funds from a
link bank account, but theres a 3 percent
charge if you use a credit card.
VENMO
How it works: Venmos app adds a social
component to payments. Users sign up via
the app and connect to friends who have also
signed up. You have to add a description for
each payment you send, which just like a

Facebook post you can then choose to
make public, restrict to your Venmo network
or keep private. Venmo is owned by PayPal.
Payment limit: New users face a rolling
weekly limit of $300. Once you confirm your
identity by linking your Facebook account or
providing other personal information such as
part of your social security number, the limit
goes up to $3000.
Fees: Free for transactions via bank
accounts or debit cards; 3 percent charge per
transactions via credit cards.
SQUARE CASH
How it works: Sign up for the Square Cash
app or on the Cash.me website and youll get
a personal link called a $Cashtag that people can click on it to send you money. Square
has also worked with Snapchat and Twitter
(whose CEO Jack Dorsey co-founded Square)
so that you can send money on those networks via $Cashtags.
Payment limit: An initial $250 spending
limit per week. You can verify your identity
via the last four digits of your Social Security
number or by linking to a Facebook account,
which ups the limit to $2,500.
Fees: Free for transactions via a bank

account or debit card; 3 percent charge per
transaction to link to a credit card.
FACEBOOK PAYMENTS
How it works: Facebook payments operates via Facebooks Messenger app. To send
or receive money you must add a debit card
(U.S. banks only) to your account. To send
money, open a chat with a Facebook friend,
click on a dollar sign icon and enter the
amount you want to send. To receive the
money a person has to add their own debit
card to their Facebook account.
Payment limit: None
Fees: None
GMAIL
How it works: First, you need a Google digital wallet; once you have that, you can send
and receive money via Gmail by clicking on
the dollar sign icon in the Gmail toolbar. You
can either send or request payments; once
youve established the amount, you attach
it to an email message much the way youd
attach a document.
Payment limit: $10,000 per transaction
Fees: None

Rubios low-budget
campaign ramping
up as voting nears
By Julie Pace
and Seanna Adcox
COLUMBIA, S.C. For

months, Marco Rubios campaign
team in South Carolina operated out
of a staffers garage, plotting strategy for the first-in-the-South primary from freshly painted yard sale
furniture and tiny classroom desks.
The shoestring budget setup was
a point of pride for the Republican
presidential candidates team. Now,
with Rubio enjoying a burst of
momentum as the early voting contests edge closer, the Florida senators campaign is moving beyond
its lean and mean roots.
On Wednesday, Rubios South
Carolina team officially moved out
of the garage and into a proper campaign headquarters though they
brought some of the yard sale furniture along with them.
This election could very well be
decided in this state, Rubio told
the crowd gathered at the office in
Columbia, South Carolinas capital.
Rubios team also opened offices
in Nevada a few weeks ago. His staff
grew by about 30 percent in
October, with more than 70 people

now on the campaign payroll. The
new hires include communications
and digital advisers, as well as field
workers to boost voter contact and
advance staff to help set up larger
and more frequent events in Iowa,
New Hampshire, South Carolina
and Nevada, the first four states to
vote in the nomination contest.
Whether Rubio can effectively
build up his campaign infrastructure
in those states may determine
whether he can turn his natural
political talents and easy appeal
with GOP voters into primary victories.
Everywhere I go I hear folks
talking about him, said Glenn
McCall, a Republican National
Committeeman
from
South
Carolina. So its the right time to
come into the state, set up shop and
set up more time here.
While Rubios advisers say
theyre simply executing the next
phase in a carefully crafted campaign blueprint, theres no doubt
the teams early penny-pinching
was driven in part by necessity. The
senators fundraising has been
underwhelming and his money
totals trailed several rivals through
REUTERS
Sen. Marco Rubio, left, talks to audience members at a campaign town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H.
summer and fall, including a lackluster $6 million haul in third
financial reporting period of the
year.
But buoyed by strong performances in the last two GOP debates,
Rubio has been attracting more
high-dollar donors, including billionaire investor Paul Singer and
New York hedge fund manager Cliff
Asness.
With more cash in the pipeline,
Rubio is expected to spend more
money on travel to early voting
states and on larger events aimed at
putting him in front of as many

voters as possible. Rubio communications director Alex Conant
pointed to a 450-person event in
New Hampshire last week and a
similar sized event in Davenport,
Iowa, on Wednesday as examples of
the type of settings the candidate
will appear at more regularly.
Rubios more robust travel plans
are welcome news to some
Republicans in early voting states
who have griped for months that
the senator wasnt spending
enough time on the ground meeting
with donors and wooing important

backers. While some candidates
have all but taken up residency in
Iowa and New Hampshire, Rubio
has been a more sporadic presence.
Hes recognizing that in order to
win in New Hampshire, you need to
be available to voters not just
once or twice but more often than
that, said Donna Sytek, a prominent New Hampshire Republican.
She called Rubio an attractive candidate but said shes also still considering Chris Christie and Carly
Fiorina.
Sugar program draws Cruzs ire, remains popular in Congress

Ted Cruz
beets.
In Tuesday nights GOP debate,
Cruz listed assistance for sugar as
among government programs
hed like to eliminate to allow
more spending for the military.
Among them are corporate

welfare, like sugar subsidies,
said the Texas senator. Lets take
that as an example. Sugar subsidies. Sugar farmers farm under
roughly 0.2 percent of the farmland in America, and yet they give
40 percent of the lobbying
money. On Wednesday, Cruz
spokeswoman Catherine Frazier
clarified that Cruz meant 40 percent of crop industries total lobbying expenditures.
U.S. assistance to sugar growers is not really direct subsidies
unlike some other agricultural
commodities. The government
does not offer cash payments to

processors and growers. Instead,
it props up prices through loans,
limits the amount domestic
processors can sell and restricts
sugar imports.
Rubio, who has received campaign donations from the sugar
industry, has consistently voted
to maintain the sugar program.
On Wednesday, he told ABCs
Good Morning America that he
supports getting rid of sugar supports, but only if countries that
export sugar to the United States
also get rid of their government
sugar aid. The sugar industry has

Local brief
Dentist to plead not guilty in fraud case
A dentist who worked out of an office at the Hillsdale
Shopping Center will plead not guilty to charges of fraud
when she returns to court Dec. 3, her attorney said
Thursday.
Kim Chi Vu, 52, faces five felony counts of grand theft
and theft by false pretenses for allegedly overbilling
patients and insurance companies and charging for work
she never performed, according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office.
A preliminary hearing was held Thursday and she is
scheduled to return to court Dec. 3 to enter a plea, her
lawyer Jeff Boyarsky said Thursday.
Vu, from Atherton, allegedly charged one victim for a
root canal she never performed and the total theft is estimated at $13,000, according to prosecutors.
Her dental license had also been suspended several
times previously, according to prosecutors.
She allegedly offered Invisalign treatment to five
patients at her San Mateo office but substituted a cheaper
brand of aligners and abandoned treatment, according to
prosecutors.
The patients had to find new dentists and some were not
even candidates for non-traditional braces, according to
prosecutors.
Other alleged questionable billings by the dentist could
not be prosecuted because they are beyond the statute of
limitations, according to prosecutors.
Vu is out of custody on a $125,000 bail bond.

Obama awards Medal of

Honor to Army captain
By Kevin Freking
WASHINGTON An Army captain

who shoved a suicide bomber to the
ground and away from his security
detail became the nations newest
Medal of Honor recipient Thursday as
President Barack Obama credited his
actions with preventing a greater catastrophe from occurring.
Florent Groberg, 32, is the 10th living service member awarded the
nations highest honor for battlefield
bravery in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Four people were killed in the attack,
and several others were wounded. As
families of the victims and some of his
former Army colleagues watched,
Obama draped the medal around
Grobergs neck at a White House ceremony. Groberg fought to keep his emotions in check as he faced the crowd and
cameras. Afterward, he dedicated the
medal to those killed and their families, saying they were the true heroes.
I am blessed and just grateful to have
been given the opportunity to serve
my country, Groberg said.
Obama recounted the details of the
August 2012 attack, which left Groberg
badly wounded and requiring nearly
three years of recovery at Walter Reed
National Military Medical Center.
Groberg was helping to lead a military escort in Afghanistans Kunar
Province when his unit approached a
bridge. As two motorcyclists caused a

diversion, a man dressed in dark clothing spun toward him some 10 feet
away. Groberg grabbed the bomber by
the vest and kept pushing him backward, with help from fellow soldier,
Sgt. Andrew Mahoney. The attacker fell
to ground and the bomb detonated. That
explosion also caused a second, unseen
bomb to detonate before it could be
placed closer to the unit.
Had both bombs gone off as
planned, who knows how many could

have been killed, Obama said.
Groberg suffered significant nerve
damage and about half the calf muscle
in his left leg was blown off. He needed
33 surgeries to save his leg.
Obama noted that he had met Groberg
about three years ago at Walter Reed.
Obama recalled that Groberg likes the
Chicago Bears, so I liked him right
away.

Amid offensive, Iraqi Kurds

cut Islamic State supply line
By Bram Janssen
and Susanah George
SINJAR, Iraq Supported by U.S.led airstrikes, Kurdish Iraqi troops on

Thursday seized part of a highway that
is used as a vital supply line by the
Islamic State group, a key initial step
in a major offensive to retake the strategic town of Sinjar from the militants.
The town was overrun by the extremists as they rampaged across Iraq in
August 2014, leading to the killing,
enslavement and flight of thousands of
people from the minority Yazidi community. The U.S. later launched an air
campaign against the Islamic State militants, also known as ISIL, ISIS and, in
Arabic, as Daesh.
Hours into Thursdays operation, the
Kurdish Regional Security Council said
its forces controlled a section of
Highway 47, which passes by Sinjar
and indirectly links the militants two
biggest strongholds Raqqa in Syria
and Mosul in northern Iraq as a route
for goods, weapons and fighters.
Coalition-backed Kurdish fighters on
both sides of the border are trying to
retake sections of that corridor as part
of Operation Free Sinjar.
By controlling Highway 47, which
is used by Daesh to transport weapons,

fighters, illicit oil and other commodities that fund their operations, the
coalition intends to increase pressure
... and isolate their components from
each other, a coalition statement said.
It said more than 150 square kilometers (95 miles) of territory had been
retaken from the Islamic State group.
The coalition said 24 airstrikes were
carried out over the past day, striking
nine militant tactical units, nine staging areas and destroying 27 fighting
positions, among other targets.
Coalition aircraft have conducted more
than 250 airstrikes in the past month
across northern Iraq.
The Kurdish fighters also said they
had secured the villages of Gabarra, on
the western front, and Tel Shore,
Fadhelya and Qen on the eastern front.
About 7,500 peshmerga fighters
closed in on Sinjar from three sides, the
Kurdish council said. In addition to taking the town and the highway, the operation aimed to establish a significant
buffer zone to protect the city and its
inhabitants from incoming artillery.
Heavy gunfire broke out early
Thursday as peshmerga fighters began
their approach amid aerial bombardment.
U.S. special operations forces were
operating from a hill above the fighting in Sinjar, said Col. Steven
Warren, the spokesman for the U.S.led coalition in Baghdad. U.S. advisers were also positioned with Kurdish
commanders, set back from the front
line and behind Sinjar mountain, to
remain away from the crossfire,
Warren said.
According to U.S. guidelines, the
U.S. forces have stay away from the
front lines and the risk of enemy fire, he
said, so they are operating from safe
locations on Sinjar mountain.
Warren said two teams of commandos
were working with the Kurds to locate
enemy targets and call the information
in to the Joint Operations Center in
Irbil, where military officials then
direct coalition aircraft flying in the
area to conduct the airstrikes.
This is only the second military operation in Iraq in which U.S. special operations forces have moved closer to the
front lines to help Kurdish forces identify targets and help direct airstrikes
against the Islamic State. But while the
strategy might be effective in northern
Iraq, where the ethnic divisions are relatively clear, a similar use of commandos may not work in other parts of Iraq,
such as Ramadi, where the battle lines
are not as evident.
COLUMBIA, Mo. One of the University of Missouris

first black law school graduates was appointed Thursday to
lead the four-campus system through a
tumultuous period of racial unrest, drawing praise from students who said hes
well-equipped to confront the problems
they felt his predecessor largely ignored.

years at the university as an undergraduate, law student, faculty member and finally, administrator. At a news conference
announcing his appointment as the uniMichael

Middleton

Russia accuses U.S. of

hijacking preparations
for Syria weekend talks
By George Jahn
VIENNA Russia accused the

United States on Thursday of
hijacking preparatory talks for a
weekend meeting of nearly 20
nations focused on ending the
Syrian war. The charge was denied
by U.S. officials, who expressed
surprise that Moscow did not show
up.
The dispute appeared to focus on
the leading role the U.S. had
assumed in the talks prior to the
main Syria meeting Saturday, and
was significant in reflecting the
tensions between the two main
players whose diplomatic muscle
is key to hopes of progress.
At the first Vienna round on Oct.
30, the U.S., Russia, Iran and more
than a dozen other nations agreed
to launch a new peace effort
involving Syrias government and
opposition groups.
Still differences persist on major
issues including what role if any
President Bashar Assad should play
in a transition from war to peace.
Both Moscow and Washington
played up the meeting itself as a
major achievement in managing to
bring all sides to one table.
On Saturday U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry is set to join
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov and counterparts from other
nations that include adversaries
Iran and Saudi Arabia.
But the dispute over working
groups that have met since
Wednesday was a warning of tensions ahead.

Lavrovs spokeswoman, Maria
Zakharova, told reporters in
Moscow that the Russian Foreign
Ministry was informed about the
preparatory meetings in an email
from the U.S. Embassy, rather than
through usual communication
channels. She said Russia was not
consulted and the initiative caught
them by surprise.
Russia sees this as an attempt to
divide participants in the Vienna
talks into those who are leading
and those who are being led,
Zakharova said. We cannot accept
such rules of the game.
She also complained that
nations including Iran, Iraq,
Lebanon, Italy and the EU all
participants in Saturdays meeting
were not included in the working groups. That was denied by
U.S. and EU officials.
One U.S. official, who demanded
anonymity because he was not
authorized to discuss the diplomacy, acknowledged that the U.S. had
assumed leadership of the working
groups set up by Staffan de
Mistura, the U.N. envoy for Syria.
But he said that as Russia was
a member of the working group
meeting Thursday on identifying
legitimate opposition groups
Washington had every reason to
expect Russia to show up.
U.S.
State
Department
spokesman John Kirby said the
talks were organized to be very
inclusive about participation.

The future of Californias solar industry

Other voices
Los Angeles Daily News
hose shiny solar panels

youve seen blossom on your
neighbors houses throughout
California? If the states investorowned utilities get their way, youll
be seeing a lot less rooftop black silicon in the future.
Thats because big utilities are petitioning to radically alter the rules
about net metering, the system by
which homeowners, schools and businesses that generate excess electrical
capacity on a sunny day sell their
unused power back to the grid, the
same as the utility companies sell it
to the rest of us.
Our big power suppliers have the
same right to operate under a fair business model as the small homeowner
who makes an investment in solar.
Few of the latter, except isolated
cabin owners and the like, are ever
really off the grid entirely. They
make use of electricity sold to them
by Southern California Electric,
PG&E and the states other large private rms as well, or buy it from the
city-owned utilities in cities such as
Los Angeles, Pasadena, Burbank and
others that operate municipal, taxpayer-owned nonprot power companies. Its the big utilities that have to
operate the grid the complex system of power lines, from the big ones
coming down from Tehachapi wind
farms, Utah coal plants, dams with
hydro plants and the like to the small
wires that come into your own homes.
But even though those big rms
still control 97 percent of the electrical power market in California, they
are worried about the tiny but growing
group of homeowners and businesses
in the state that have chosen to generate some of their own power. So they
have a proposal before the California
Public Utilities Commission targeting net metering by making it more
than twice as expensive for the little
guy through fees and smaller payments.
Those electrons are sold back to the
rest of us at the same rate as electricity made by the utilities. So even
though its true all of us have an interest in maintaining the grid, the proposals are not only not fair the
solar-panel installation industry says
it would deeply harm their own business model. And this is not just about
staying in business. As U.S. negotiators prepare to head to the Paris talks
on climate change next month, all of
us have an interest in creating a country with fewer carbon emissions that

lead to global warming.
When a similar measure to the one
before the PUC was approved in
Arizona recently, the solar industry
said it saw an immediate 95 percent
decline in its business. Homeowners
said that it no longer penciled out for
them to invest the $15,000 or so it
costs to go solar and recoup their
investment through energy savings
over 10 or so years. Hawaii just
passed an anti-solar bill after intense
lobbying by that states largest utility, and big condos that were on the
verge of going solar dropped their
plans. Two of the sunniest places in
the nation are now seeing dramatic
drops in individuals going solar.
The good news is that two other
states, New Mexico and Wisconsin,
recently prevented their utility commissions from siding with the big
utilities by making small solar power
less economical.
About 130,000 Californians signed
petitions to the PUC asking it to protect net metering, and big wheelbarrows of the petitions were delivered
last Thursday. In the future, the formula may need tinkering with to protect
the grid. But the time to change the
model, just as solar is taking off, is
not now.

Burlingame
deserves to play in CCS
Editor,
On behalf of the Burlingame High
Schools varsity womens water polo
team, we want to express our view on
the Central Coast Sections (CCS) decision to disqualify us.
In Terry Bernals article in the Nov.
11 edition of the Daily Journal, CCS
commissioner Duane Morgan said,
whether or not the submission of the
false information was done knowingly
is irrelevant. We believe that our
coach Paul Feltons intention is relevant, and crucial in the reasoning
behind his mistake. We were excluded
from CCS because they claim Paul had
motive for submitting fraudulent paperwork. This is not true: Our second place
nish in league would have qualied us
regardless. Further, the CCS bylaws
claim that extra games alone dont lead
to exclusion from the tournament.
We are disappointed that our season
of hard work has been dismissed and
Pauls character questioned. Saying that
he had reason to misrepresent our
record is inaccurate. Additionally, we
are puzzled, and left to question why
Morgan hasnt had the time to respond
to our appeal, along with emails and
phone calls, yet made the time to speak
to the media.
In the end, the resolution we seek has

the very best in the next four years and
appreciate all you have done and will
continue to do for our community.
Barbara, thank you for your 16 years
on the council and for everything you

I feel very lucky and grateful. Out of
the upmost respect for the community,
for all the council (current and new),
and the staff I will not participate in
any future council meetings or subcommittee meetings during this transition. Attending council meetings and

How about an ice

rink at Hillsdale?
he Hillsdale Shopping Center has some pretty nice

plans for its north block where the Sears store is
now. Interesting how it started as an open air onelevel shopping center back in the day, then grew up to two
stories with a roof. Now, shopping centers seek to replicate
urban areas with pedestrian-friendly areas and open air.
Think Santana Row in San Jose. So the new plans will have
an aspect of that, with retail, a recongured food court, a
high-end movie theater and a bowling alley. Hillsdale has
come a long way from having a typical food court to nice
restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Paul Martins
American Grill. This recent plan is an extension of that. Say
one thing for Hillsdale, it is always changing with the times
to stay current with what residents of San Mateo, and other
nearby cities, look for in a shopping experience.
However, at a recent Planning
Commission meeting, there
were calls to also include housing in the plans for the North
Block. More housing makes a
whole lot of sense in this area
that is in dire need of it, and
housing or other live/work
space ts into the mold of the
new shopping center look and
feel. Bay Meadows rst phase
included live-work spaces in the
area next to Whole Foods, with
multi-unit housing nearby. It
makes for a walkable and interesting area. However, current
height limits may make it
infeasible on the Hillsdale
property, which has a primary responsibility as a retail center. There may be some opportunity to do some housing at
the TGI Fridays location across the street that would make
sense since its so close to the train station but its likely
Hillsdale ofcials are thinking of a lot of different ways to
give the city what it wants after all, it always has.
One idea that may not have been thought of though
any chance of putting an ice rink on a top level? That too
would be a tremendous draw and guarantee much life in the
area. It would also make a lot of people happy, and show
Bridgepointe, current home of a shuttered ice rink, that
Hillsdale is the shopping center that knows how to get
things done for the community it serves.

A couple of items about our recently completed all-mail
election. Results were quick and there was little change from
the initial election night tally at 8:05 p.m. That made covering it interesting, since we are used to some small changes
throughout the night as precincts came in. Dont know if
that was happenstance and if the early results will be so
denitive again. But the all-mail ballot seems to be successful, with a slight uptick in participation. Kudos to Elections
Chief Mark Church for managing it, and to Assemblyman
Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, for his legislation
that allowed for the pilot program.
It was surprising that longtime Redwood City
Councilwoman Rosanne Foust lost. Councilman Ian Bain
was the highest vote getter and that likely reected his ability to stand apart from the current council on occasion when
it comes to the pace and type of development. While many
like the changes downtown, those who are concerned by the
rapid growth were more likely to participate in the election.
Foster City Councilman Herb Perez seemed to be in third
place on election night, but subsequent tallies bumped him
up to second place behind newcomer Sam Hindi and above
fellow newcomer Catherine Mahanpour. It might seem
strange that an incumbent would have fewer votes than
Hindi, a like-minded newcomer, but Perezs no-nonsense
attitude can rub some the wrong way. Thats neither good,
nor bad. It just is. Either way, elections are a winner-take-all
exercise. It doesnt really matter what place you come in as
long as you win a seat.
Millbrae Mayor Robert Gottschalk lost handily, which is
unusual for someone who has been on the council. But he
didnt seem to have his heart in the job lately and newcomer
Ann Schneider was able to express her point of view well
while promising new energy.
Also, in Millbrae, former mayor Gina Papan won election. The election of her sister Diane Papan in San Mateo
means there are two siblings serving on separate San Mateo
County city councils. I dont recall that happening before.
If someone can recall otherwise, please let me know. Either
way, their father, the late assemblyman Lou Papan, would be
proud.
And just one quick note to all candidates and measure supporters or opponents time to pick up your campaign
signs. Its been 10 days.

Big beer merger leaves

future uncertain for competitors
LONDON Its no fun being in the middle.
Heineken, Molson Coors and Carlsberg
are storied brewers that trace their roots
back hundreds of years and have loyal
drinkers around the world. But the merger of
their two biggest competitors leaves such
mid-size brewers without a clear way forward.
They find themselves squeezed between a
Goliath that will produce almost a third of
the worlds beer and a growing army of craft
brewers.
Some experts say the mid-sized brewers
should respond by pursuing takeovers of
their own. Others argue that would do little
good because the underlying problem is
that consumers are increasingly drinking
craft beers, not mass market brands.
There are so many craft beers out there,
said Jonny Forsyth, a global drinks analyst
NEW YORK A deepening slump in

prices for oil, metals and other commodities sent stock prices lower on
Thursday.
Major market indexes opened lower
and the selling accelerated as the day
wore on. The drop in oil and metals
prices hurt mining, metals and energy
stocks. Stocks began sliding early
this month and have returned some of
the gains from a powerful rally in
October.
The Dow Jones industrial average
sank 254.15 points, or 1.4 percent, to
17,448.07. The Standard & Poors 500

2, 045. 97. The Nasdaq composite
index fell 61.94 points, or 1.2 percent, to 5,005.08.
The S&P 500 has fallen for six out of
the last seven days, and Thursdays
decline was the largest over that span.
While October was the best month for
the market in four years, the S&P 500
is now down slightly this year. The
Dow average is also lower in 2015.
Mike McGlone, head of U. S.

central bank said new stimulus measures may be put in place next month.
That would boost the dollar at the

percent this year.
Mining and metals companies
retreated. Freeport-McMoRan dropped
54 cents, or 5.8 percent, to $8.77. Its
stock has skidded 69 percent over the
past year. Steel maker Nucor fell
$1. 11, or 2. 7 percent, to $40. 11.
Nucor has lost a quarter of its value in

Rite Aid adds prescription

analysis to genetic test lineup
Rite Aid is giving patients a chance to
peek over their doctors shoulder with
genetic tests that help determine the effectiveness of some prescriptions.
The drugstore chain said Thursday that it
is selling Harmonyx testing kits at nearly
all of its stores. The kits cost between $49
and $89 without a prescription, and customers can use them to learn more about the
effectiveness of medicines for cardiac con-

When the dollar appreciates it tends
to send prices for metals, oil and other
commodities, which are priced in dollars, lower. Thats because buyers
using other currencies such as the yen
and the euro often arent willing to pay
higher prices in their own currency
just because the dollar has appreciated.
Since November hit, the U.S. dollar
has gone straight up and these commodities are getting smoked, Ryan
Detrick, a markets strategist at Kimble
Charting Solutions, said.
The price of oil slid for the sixth
time in seven days and hit its lowest
price since late August after the U.S.
government said crude stockpiles grew
by 4.2 million barrels last week. A private report released Wednesday had
showed an even larger increase, but the
markets showed no signs of relief.
U.S. benchmark crude fell $1.18, or
2.7 percent, to $41.75 a barrel in New

Coaches add to rivalry-game tradition

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
From Redwood City to San Bruno, from

Pacica to San Mateo, this is the week
Peninsula Athletic League football fans can
go to any game on the Peninsula and be sure
to be entertained.
Friday nights game are the culmination
of Rivalry Week the one week and one
game a year where tradition is just as much
part of the game as the play on the eld
itself.
The annual rivalry games are the ones the
students and respective communities look
forward to year after year. And regardless of
the kind of season a team is having, it doesnt matter when they take the eld against
the one team they want to beat more than
any other.
There are a lot of great things going on
across the Peninsula this coming weekend
and each game is special in its own way,
said Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos.
What helps keep the rivalry games alive
are the respective coaching staffs.
Philipopoulos is one of several PAL coaches who can appreciate the tradition of the
rivalry games on the Peninsula.
Philipopoulos cut his teeth playing at
Oceana in the now-defunct Anchor Game
against Terra Nova. Now, in his 14th season
at Burlingame, Philipopoulos has become
entrenched in the Little Big Game against
San Mateo.
Aragon coach Steve Sell played for the
Dons and, following his college years at St.
Marys, has been on the Dons coaching
staff since 1989. He and El Caminos Eric
Jacobson are the only two PAL coaches who
coach their alma mater.
My brother entered Aragon when I was
sixth-grade. I remember having to sit in the
aisle at Burlingame (during the Battle of
Fleas game against Hillsdale) because there
were so many people, Sell said. [This
rivalry game] is ingrained. Its something I
always look forward to. Ill enjoy it more
this year than in years past.
Sell said the rise of the Hillsdale program
under coach Mike Parodi, coupled with the
Knights beating the Dons last year for the
rst time since 1991, has added some extra
juice to this years game.

Sell is one of several PAL coaches who has
both played in a PAL rivalry game and
coached in one. Sell is one of two current
coaches along with El Caminos Eric
Jacobson to play for and later coach their
alma mater.
Now, its just a good high school football game [between] two evenly matched
teams, Sell said. You always hate to lose a
game (but) its so much different than
worrying about the (23-year winning)
streak.
Parodi got his baptism to the PAL rivalry
week during his two years at San Mateo,
before taking over Hillsdale seven years
ago. A Serra graduate, Parodi said he was
aware of the various PAL rivalries, but didnt
miss out on the rivalry experience. During
his playing days, his team beat Bellarmine
for the rst time in what he estimated was 20
years. He was also part of the Padres coaching staff when they snapped their 33-year

Warriors top T-wolves for 10th straight win

By Jon Krawczyniski
MINNEAPOLIS Stephen Curry scored 46

points, 21 in the first quarter, and the Golden
State Warriors improved to 10-0 on the season
with a 129-116 victory over the Minnesota
Timberwolves on Thursday night.
Curry hit 15 of 25 shots, including 8 of 13 3pointers, in another breathtaking performance
for the reigning MVP. Draymond Green had 23
points, 12 assists and eight rebounds for the
Warriors, who are the fourth defending champion to start the season with at least 10 straight
wins.
Karl-Anthony Towns had 17 points and 11
rebounds and Andrew Wiggins scored 19 points
for the Timberwolves (4-4), who have lost all
four home games this season. Ricky Rubio
missed his second straight game with a strained
left hamstring.
The Warriors went 18 for 38 from 3-point
range while Minnesota was just 3 for 9.
The Warriors opened defense of their title as
emphatically as possible, using potshots from
the likes of the Houston Rockets and Los
Angeles Clippers as fuel while blowing the
doors off the league.
Curry has led the charge, shooting with a
precision and range never before seen in this
league. A human heat check, Curry has broken
the league record for 3-pointers made in a season in each of the last two years, and is on pace
to smash it again this year. He has topped 40
points in a game three times this season and
his 52 3s are more than three teams have made
all season.
One night after scoring 28 in a win over
Memphis, he was 4 for 5 from deep in the first
quarter and pushed the Warriors out to a 10-0 lead
before the game was 90 seconds old.
Last year Russell Westbrook led the NBAwith
four 20-point quarters. Curry already has four in
10 games. He hit consecutive triples in the third
quarter, one from 3 feet behind the arc for a 9776 lead.
But the Timberwolves didnt go away, ripping off an 18-2 run to pull within five early in
the fourth quarter.
Curry followed with a 3 and a pull-up jumper
and Klay Thompson buried another 3 in the corner to push the lead back to double digits.
Tip-ins
Warri o rs : Reserve G Leandro Barbosa left
the team to fly home to Brazil for a family matter. Interim coach Luke Walton said Barbosa is
expected to return to the team by Monday. ...
The Celtics in 1957-58 and 1964-65 and the
Bulls in 1996-97 are the only other defending
champs to start with at least 10 straight wins.
Ti mberwo l v es : Rubios injury is considered minor and a result of the point guards body

As hire Mark Kotsay as bench coach

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Former outfielder Mark

Kotsay has aspirations to be a manager one
day, and hell get an up-close glimpse at the
job next season as bench coach with his former Oakland team.
Back in the Bay Area he loves calling
home, even if he has put down roots in San
Diego.
The Athletics announced Thursday that
Kotsay is rejoining the organization on
manager Bob Melvins staff. In a 17-year
big league career, Kotsay spent the 2004-07
seasons with the As.
Its great to be back in Oakland. The time
that I spent there from 2004 to 2007 I really
reflect back on it with

nothing but positives,
Kotsay said on a conference call. We had some
great teams and I developed some great relationships here in this organization that have continued
to stay strong throughout
Mark Kotsay my journey in baseball.
The two had mutual
friends who thought they might click, and
that was the case in a hurry. Melvin picked
up Kotsay at the Oakland airport on Tuesday
and they went to lunch in the citys Jack
London Square neighborhood.
Then, Kotsay said, the two baseball men
realized they have a similar glass half-full
approach in teaching the game.

I have no experience in this role, Bob can
mold me in how he likes things done and Im
here to learn that, Kotsay said. From that
standpoint Im just looking forward to being
a sponge and soaking things up.
Kotsay, a career .276 hitter who turns 40
next month, was San Diegos hitting coach
last season in his first job as a professional
coach.
Mike Aldrete had been bench coach but
will shift to first base duties to replace
departed Tye Waller. The rest of Melvins
staff stays intact, with former Rangers manager Ron Washington remaining at third
base in the spot he took over in August.
Every bench coach has to be an extension of the manager and really the manager
sets the tone, Kotsay said. Hopefully, I

can share my experiences as a player and get
across to them the importance of buying in
and how special teams can be when the
group really believes in that. Ive got a lot
to learn in this role.
Oakland also named Phil Pohl its bullpen
catcher.
Being part of the low-budget As and all the
challenges that come with that dont bother
Kotsay. For him, its about the people he
works with and the relationships built while
trying to put a winning team on the field
each day.
One of the things that I love about
Oakland is when opposing teams come in to
play, they dont like the Coliseum, he said,
and its somewhere that I love.

Continued from page 11
San Mateo-City College of San Francisco
rivalry as his dad, Mike Parodi Sr., was an
assistant on the Rams coaching staff.
I understand how big those games are.
Rivalry weeks were always a fun week,
Parodi said. What I really love about it is
the alumni coming back. If they come back
(to watch) a game, its this game.
Its a community thing, too. Thats
why Im a huge proponent of high school
sports, for stuff like that.
San Mateo coach Jeff Scheller appeared to
be on the same track as Sell and Jacobson as
the Hillsdale graduate took over the
Knights program for two seasons before
moving on to the Bearcats.
Its a lot of pressure. Its a lot of expectations. You put pressure on yourself
because you want to do well for your
school, said Scheller, now in his 10th season with the Bearcats. But if you step out
the box, you appreciate the tradition.
Everybody knows this (Little Big Game
with Burlingame). Its an event.
Philipopoulos agreed there is pressure to
win this game. Not just from the
Burlingame community, but the result could
factor into the Panthers playoff future.
Its a big deal. This year, for us, its a
must-win if we want to assure a home playoff game next week, Philipopoulos said.
Capuchino coach Ben White brings a different perspective to rivalry games. A
Carlmont graduate, White is one of the few
SPORTS
head coaches in PAL history to participate
in three rivalry games: as a player and coach
at Carlmont, seven years playing in The
Bell Game against El Camino as coach of
South City, and now The Battle of the
Strip against Mills.
White said, however, that nothing on the
Peninsula can match what he went through
during his stint at Exeter High School in the
Central Valley. He said his schools big
rival was against Woodlake and the animosity between the schools was palpable.
It was real hate. Like, police-have-toescort-the-buses, White said. Its a different level than here. I told my wife, when we
played [at Woodlake], dont go.
White said what makes the PAL rivalries
different is the fact that so many of the players at many of the schools grew up together,
went to elementary and junior high school
together before splitting to go to different
high schools.
Thats what is unique about [the
Peninsula rivalries], all the kids know each
other, White said.
What keeps the rivalry games fresh is the
fact there is a new wave of students and families entering these schools every year to
carry on the traditions that date back
decades 88 years in the case of the Little
Big Game and inject that sometimeslost school spirit back into the school communities.
The demise of high school football is
greatly exaggerated. People really still care
about high school football, Sell said. In
my opinion, there is not one game played
after this coming weekend that generates as
much excitement as the rivalry games this
weekend.

Kings Academy (7-2 overall)
at Jefferson (7-2), 7 p.m.

Despite being known as a pass-happy team,
the Tigers are one of the most balanced
offenses in the PAL. They are passing for an
average of 217 yards and rushing for 192.
Mills (0-4 PAL Lake, 3-6 overall)

at Capuchino (4-0, 5-4), 7 p.m.
Battle of the Strip

last season. Capuchino leads the all-time
series 35-21. The Mustangs muscled past
Carlmont 40-6 last week. The Vikings
were vanquished by Jefferson, 35-28.
Mills has lost five of its last six games,
but the last two weeks the Vikings have lost
by only a touchdown. After struggling
offensively to start Lake Division play, the
Vikings have come on strong the last two
weeks, scoring a combined 49 points. They
scored only 12 points in their first two
league games. Capuchino running back
Damien Jacobs banged up his shoulder in
last weeks win and sat out most of the
game. But coach Ben White said it was more
precautionary than anything else and
Jacobs will be in the starting lineup Friday
night. Mustangs quarterback Joe
Gutierrez picked up the slack with Jacobs
missing most of last week, throwing four
touchdown passes. The Capuchino
defense has been nails in Lake Division
play, giving up a total of 50 points in four
games with 44 coming in a 49-44 win
over Jefferson two weeks ago.
Menlo-Atherton (5-4 overall)

Burlingame last week, 14-0. The
Wildcats fell to South City, 23-14. M-As
loss last week snapped a five-game winning
streak. It was the fourth time this season
the Bears failed to score in double digits.
M-A running back Jordan Mims went over
the 1,000-yard mark last week. He is averaging 9.5 yards a carry this season. After
starting the season with four wins,
Woodside has lost five in a row and needs to

Academy leads the series 6-1. Jeffersons
only win was a 34-24 decision in 2011.
The Knights were knocked off by Half
Moon Bay 50-40 last week. The
Grizzlies got past Mills 35-28. This
could be one of the most entertaining games

Michael Johnson Jr. has thrown for 1,720
yards and 20 touchdowns this season.
Jefferson quarterback Damari Cual-Davis

Will more athletes take on the establishment?

By Jim Litke
College athletes have more power than

ever before, almost everyone can agree on
that. What is up for debate is whether that
will lead to overdue change, or whether it will
throw programs into turmoil.
Protests have been rare during the college
athletes eight-decades and counting campaign for a bigger piece of the pie and successful protests have been rarer still.
But the winds of change buffeting the
power structure of college sports are stronger
than at any time since the mini-revolts of the
late 1960s and early 70s that focused largely on civil rights. More and more, todays
athletes are showing a similar willingness to
test the limits of their power through
protests, organizing efforts and smart use of
social media.
Even before a threatened strike by
Missouri football players helped lead to the
resignation of the schools president, student athletes were showing their strength off
the field.
Two years ago, Grambling States football
team went public with their complaints over
the sorry state of the facilities by forfeiting a
game against Jackson State. Last March,
Oklahomas football team walked out of
spring practice in response to a video showing white fraternity members singing racial
slurs. In June, a barrage of tweets by former
Illinois lineman Simon Cvijanovic (WHEN
(at)coachbeckman is fired, one tweet began,
The seeds have been planted before.

Well see if they bear fruit this time around.
Ramongi Huma, executive director National College Players Association
youll hear plenty more stories ...) sparked

the investigation that actually did get coach
Tim Beckman fired three months later.
People said this before, but I feel like college sports is in very dangerous territory
right now, said Gary Barnett, a former head
coach at Northwestern and Colorado now a
radio analyst for Sports USA network. The
schools and athletic departments have plenty of problems as it is; add this battle over
athletes rights to the health issues, like concussions, that are already on the table, and it
looks tough to continue on the track were
on. ...
My greatest fear is what will happen if the
tail is wagging the dog, Barnett added. But
thats what it feels like from a distance.
Yet the same image that threatens some in
the status quo looks like a positive from the
other side of the prism. They say its no
coincidence athletes are flexing their vocal
muscles at the same time a steady stream of
challenges to the authority of the NCAA.
Major conferences are moving through the
courts and federal agencies seeking to expand
athletes rights and how theyre compensated.
I think they have a real sense now of the
power they can wield, said Ramogi Huma,
the former UCLA linebacker and executive
director of the National College Players

Association (NCPA), which led the unsuccessful fight to organize football players at
Northwestern. What happened at Missouri
is that athletes who train and prepare and
love to play demonstrated a willingness to
sacrifice to advance a larger cause. In their
case, it was to fight against racism.
Now the question becomes will players
prove willing to do the same to address
unjust NCAA rules? To fight for better medical coverage? Or more just compensation?
... The seeds have been planted before, he
added. Well see if they bear fruit this time
around.
The stakes couldnt be much higher.
College football and mens basketball are
the bedrock of a multi-billion- dollar enterprise that has enriched TV networks and
coaches, and turned some university athletic
departments into nation-states. No one
claims to be in favor of disrupting those
games. And the powers-that-be have taken
some steps to address issues ranging from
safety to scholarship costs.
But two men who might not agree on much
else Big 12 Conference Commissioner
Bob Bowlsby and Huma both said recently they wouldnt be surprised to find athletes
on a picket line in the not-too-distant future.
What that might accomplish is anyones

guess. If the past is any indication, the
answer is not much.
Ellen Staurowsky, a professor of sports
management at Drexel University, recently
compiled a history of labor-management settos in college sports dating back to the
1930s and its not a very distinguished one.
In those early years, student-athletes from
Howard, LSU, Pitt and Syracuse all tried or
threatened to withhold their game-day services in exchange for a better deal and wound
up folding, usually for very little.
In one memorable instance, at the 1961
Liberty Bowl, all it took to derail a threatened strike by Syracuses players was a gift
of commemorative watches for the players.
But there were small victories, too, most
notably perhaps, the members of the 196970 Syracuse football who came to be known
as the Syracuse 8. They staged a lengthy
and sometimes-divisive protest seeking academic, medical and on-field equality for black
players, a fight that carried implications for
athletes everywhere in those racially charged
times.
There are different issues today, and social
media has been a game-changer for players
already, Staurowsky said. Theyre a different generation and theyre just beginning to
grow into their story, to find where they fit,
in a way that may be empowering to them. ...
So, she said, if we dont see more
activism coming out of this era, then it will
make me wonder whether it will happen at
all.
College teams make tweaks ahead of shorter shot clock

By Genaro C. Armas
MADISON, Wis. Not all that long ago,

Wisconsin grinded out games and won regularly by scoring in the 40s and 50s. Last
year, Wisconsin could keep up with anybody with Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker
leading the way.
The efficient Badgers are adept at adapting
to the times and a new wrinkle has arrived
this season: The shot clock has been shaved
by five seconds, leaving teams patient
and otherwise 30 seconds to run their
offense.
Wisconsins Bo Ryan and other coaches
arent necessarily buying that this will lead
to dramatic changes in college basketball.
But practices have changed subtly at many
schools, communication and court awareness are more important than ever, and fullcourt pressure is getting a new look as a way
to turn up the heat on offenses getting used
to having less time on their hands.
Ive noticed it a little bit, having the
clock five seconds less, especially with our
scout squad putting pressure on us full
court, Wisconsin point guard Bronson
Koenig said. We just have to get things a
little quicker.
Teams with experienced guards like
Koenig, and Wichita States Fred VanVleet
and Ron Baker, may have easier adjust-
ments. That veteran backcourt helped

Wichita State finish fourth-best nationally
in limiting turnovers last year.
Well have to teach (new players) what
its like to have to get a shot off at a certain
point, whether thats in a one-on-one situation, a ball screen, or whatever, Shockers
coach Gregg Marshall said. When it comes
to guys like (VanVleet and Baker), Im not
worried about it.
At Arizona, Sean Miller is among many
coaches making players more aware of
soft full-court pressure situations, where
an opponent might press or show press in
an effort to slow an offense.
When you do that, and you dont understand the difference of five seconds, you
start getting into a situation where it might
have been 15 seconds left in the past but
now its 10, Miller said. Or all of a sudden
its five and its dire straits.
Regardless, Miller continues to emphasize attacking with the ball and getting
quickly in the offense.
Obviously, on defense, we want to get
them to the end of the clock. Maybe that
will be to our advantage defensively,
Miller said.
Other teams were going back to work in
practice, like Michigan after what coach
John Beilein saw last week in an exhibition
game against Le Moyne.
Theres three seconds sometimes that it
takes us to get into something, that we had
Most teams
shoot between 12
and 16 seconds,
so I dont think its
going to have any
effect at all.
Jim Boeheim
the luxury to do before, Beilein said. We

dont have it. Weve got to pop that ball and
move and drive it.
The shot clock was last changed before
the 1993-94 season, when it went from 45
seconds to 35 seconds. Its being changed
again amid concerns over low scoring;
Since 2012, teams have averaged around 68
points per game every year except 2014
all near historic lows.
Like Michigan, North Carolina State used
a 25-second clock in the preseason to prepare his team. Gottfrieds squad was also one
of best in the country last year in limiting
turnovers. The nonconference schedule in
November and December will be a trial period, Gottfried said, but people adjust a little
bit, and I think everybody will be fine.
At Syracuse, where coach Jim Boeheims
2-3 zone has frustrated teams for decades,
theres not much consternation.
Most team shoot between 12 and 16 seconds, so I dont think its going to have any
effect at all, Boeheim said. I think if you

went to 24, there would be a noticeable
effect, but not 30.
Over the summer, the Badgers played with
an NBA-standard, 24-second clock for some
pickup games. For practice possessions at
half court, Wisconsin will start the clock at
about 23 seconds now instead of 27.
Working with a less experienced roster this
season, Ryan started working on press
defense and press-break situations on
offense a little earlier than usual this preseason.
Ryans teams have successfully fended off
challenges from more up-tempo teams for
years with a deliberate and efficient system
that has helped them advance to back-toback Final Fours.
Being able to rely on do-it-all big man
Kaminsky helped immensely the previous
two seasons. Wisconsin led the country
again last year with 121.3 points per 100
possessions, according to STATS.
Avoiding turnovers is paramount. Proper
spacing on the floor is essential. And the
Badgers still have two proven players in
Koenig and forward Nigel Hayes who can
break down defenders in 1-on-1 situations
with the shot clock winding down.
You know, its still going to be youve
got to put the ball in the basket and youve
got to try to stop the other guys from putting the ball in the basket, whether its a 5second shot clock or 30, Ryan said.

Oklahoma State seeks to end decade-long wrestling title drought

By Luke Meredith
IOWA CITY, Iowa Oklahoma

State is a wrestling powerhouse
that hasnt won an NCAA title in
nearly a decade.
This could be the year the
Cowboys finally win again and
break the Big Tens stranglehold
on the top spot.
Oklahoma State garnered 10 of
the 12 first-place votes in the initial NWCA coaches poll released
last month. The Cowboys lost just
one starter from last season and
will be led by 165-pounder Alex
Dieringer, who will be going for
his third national title.
Hes going to have to stay
focused on and continue to train
with the mentality of putting
points on the board. Definitely a
big year for him to put his name in
the record books, Oklahoma

State coach John Smith said of
Dieringer.
What to know as other teams
chase the Cowboys in their quest
for a 35th national title and first
since 2006:
Hokey pokey
Oklahoma State will also return
149-pound national runner-up
Josh Kindig and heavyweight
Austin Marsden, who was eighth
in the country a year ago. Austin
Collica won the Big 12 at 141
pounds last season and could push
for All-America status in 2015-16.
But the Cowboys will be tested
early and often. They open
Saturday at fourth-ranked Iowas
Kinnick Stadium in the first meet
ever held at a Division I football
stadium, an event that could draw
close to 40,000 fans. They also

wrestle on Nov. 29 at Minnesota
a perennial power that looks to
be a bit down this year and get a
return date against the Hawkeyes
on Jan. 11 in Stillwater.
Caels kids back?

Penn State saw its four-year run
of national championships end in
2014-15.
But
coach
Cael
Sandersons Nittany Lions are
ranked second heading into this
season, with Morgan McIntosh
(197 pounds) and Jimmy Gulibon
(141 pounds) expected to push for
national titles. Penn State also
returns a pair of All-Americans in
senior Nico Megaludis and sophomore Zain Retherford, who should
only be better this season after
taking redshirts a year ago. The
Nittany Lions look like the best
bet to push the Cowboys.
Big year for Big Blue?

At No. 3, Michigan hasnt been
ranked this high heading into a
season in a decade. The
Wolverines are as deep 1-10 as any
team in the country, with their
top-ranked recruiting class from
three years ago expected to help
the program push Penn State, Iowa
and Ohio State in the top-heavy
Big Ten.
Hawkeyes/Buckeyes
Iowa has four legitimate national title contenders, including junior Cory Clark and sophomore
Brandon Sorenson. Ohio State,
which won its first NCAA title a
year ago, should be solid yet
again. But the fifth-ranked
Buckeyes will be without their
best wrestler: Kyle Snyder took an

Olympic redshirt to compete for a
spot on the U.S. team headed to
next summers Rio Olympics and
stunned the international community by winning a world title in
Las Vegas two months ago.
Individual stars
North Carolina States Nick
Gwiazdowski is heavily favored to
win his third straight NCAA crown
at heavyweight, and last season
Isaiah Martinez of Illinois was the
first freshman to go unbeaten and
win nationals since Sanderson did
it at Iowa State in 1999.
Oklahomas Cody Brewer is back
after a surprise run through the
field at last years NCAA meet at
133 pounds.

Murray, Cooper return to practice for Raiders

By Michael Wagaman
ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders running

back Latavius Murray practiced Thursday for
the first time since suffering a concussion and
is optimistic about his chances of playing
against Minnesota.
Four days after being forced out of a game in
Pittsburgh following a powerful helmet-tofacemask hit by Steelers safety Mike
Mitchell, Murray took part in position drills
and showed no lingering effects while taking
reps with Oaklands first-team offense during
the 30-minute window for watching practice
open to reporters.
I feel good, Murray said. I cant make the
call on what their plans are, but I know I feel
good and Ive been progressing great through
the week.
It was the second concussion in less than a
year for Murray, who leads the AFC and is
Golf briefs
Leonard leads in Mexico
PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico Justin
Leonard got off to a quick start in what he
expects to be his shortest season, opening
with a 6-under 65 on Thursday in the OHL
Classic at Mayakoba to share the lead with
Aaron Baddeley, Shawn Stefani and Derek
Fathauer.
Leonard, who moved from Dallas to
Colorado during the summer, said he plans
to play only 12 events this season to spend
more time with his wife and four children.
The former British Open champion is using
his one-time exemption for being top 50 on
the PGA Tours career money list.
The 43-year-old Leonard played bogeyfree at El Camaleon before the wind and rain
arrived and stopped play for 1 hour, 14 minutes. The round was suspended because of
darkness, and 21 players did not finish.
sixth overall with 630

rushing yards. He missed
one game in 2014 after
getting injured on Nov. 20
against Kansas City.
Murray called the play
by Mitchell a good hit
and told reporters this
concussion was less
severe than the one he sufLatavius
fered last season.
Murray
This one I definitely
felt much better immediately, Murray said.
Obviously with head injury you need to be
careful regardless, but (this is) nothing more
major than normal. I slept good, felt good
after. All good signs.
The Raiders need a healthy Murray to balance their offense.
Murray is the workhorse in Oaklands backfield with 132 carries. No other running back
on the team has more than 14.
A sixth-round pick in
2013, Murray has helped
revive the Raiders running
game after they finished
last in the NFL last season. This season Oakland
is 18th, averaging 104.6
yards per game on the
ground.
(That) is something
Amari Cooper
that we want to continue
to get better at and grow at each week, running the ball, Murray said. Obviously
weve been doing that and doing it well.
While it appears Murray will be good to go
against Minnesota, offensive coordinator
Bill Musgrave said the Raiders have been giving the other running backs additional work
in practice this week.
We have to do a good job of making sure
those guys are prepped, Musgrave said.
Those guys all have dominant traits that we
like to play to their strengths. I think all five

guys have scored after eight games, all five
running backs. So we have a lot of confidence
in each and every one of them.
Rookie wide receiver Amari Cooper also
practiced without limitations after sitting out
Wednesday with a quadriceps injury in a precautionary move. Cooper, who leads all rookies in catches and receiving yardage, looked
fine as he sprinted downfield and hauled in a
long pass from quarterback Derek Carr.
No tes : Tony Bergstrom practiced at center
with the starting offense while Rodney
Hudson sat out his second consecutive day
with an ankle injury. Bergstrom has never
started at center in the NFL during his fouryear career. ... Rookie safety Tevin McDonald
was waived, likely to make room for Nate
Allen who has been practicing and is expected to come off the injured reserve this week.
... Charles Woodson (shoulder) returned to
practice after a day off.
Stefani was a runner-up last year at

Mayakoba to Charley Hoffman.
Baddeley, a three-time winner, lost his
card last season and failed to get it back
through the Web.com Tour Finals. He is
playing as a past champion, and got into
the Mexico event through a top-10 finish
last week. He tied for fourth in the rainplagued Sanderson Farms Championship in
Mississippi.
D.J. Trahan, another past champion, also
got into Mayakoba through a top 10 in
Mississippi. He was in a large group at 66
that included Charles Howell III and Patton
Kizzire.
Matt Kuchar, at No. 16 in the world the
highest-ranked player at Mayakoba, opened
with a 72. He was in the same group as
Mississippi winner Peter Malnati, who
shot a 68, and HSBC Champions winner
Russell Knox, who had a 70. Knox is playing his fifth straight week, going from
Napa, California, to Las Vegas to Malaysia
to Shanghai and now Mexico.
Park leads Lorena Ochoa Invitational
Lopez had a hole-in-one on the 174-yard

fifth hole with a 7-iron. Shes a senior at the
University of Arkansas and was second this
year in the NCAA tournament.
MEXICO CITY Inbee Park made a 15foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 4under 68 and a one-stroke lead in the LPGA
Tours Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
The second-ranked Park had seven birdies
and three bogeys at tree-lined Club de Golf
Mexico. Shes making her first start since
withdrawing in China two weeks ago
because of a cyst on her left middle finger.
The South Korean star has four victories
this season, winning two of the five
majors.
Angela Stanford, Suzann Pettersen and
Minjee Lee were tied for second.
Stanford is coming off playoff loss to
Sun-Ju Ahn last week in the Asian Swing
finale in Japan.
Mexican amateur Gaby Lopez was tied for
fifth at 71 with So Yeon Ryu, Azahara
Munoz, Jaye Marie Green, Sydnee
Michaels, Pernilla Lindberg and Mariajo
Uribe.
Garcia leads BMW

Masters by a stroke
SHANGHAI Spains Sergio Garcia shot
an 8-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead over
Frances Victor Dubuisson and South
Koreas An Byeong-hun in the rain-soaked
BMW Masters.
Garcia, who started his round on the back
nine, made four birdies in his first five
holes and added another five after the turn to
offset one bogey. Dubuisson, the Turkish
Airlines Open two weeks ago, and An each
had seven birdies at Lake Malaren.
The event is the third of four in the
European Tours Finals Series. The DP World
Tour Championship is next week in Dubai,
United Arab Emirates.
Love the Coopers a moving holiday pic

By Lindsey Bahr
Love the Coopers is pretty formulaic as

far as Christmas dramedies go, but there are
always going to be those movies that just
get to you despite, perhaps, your best
judgment.
Modern holiday movies, with their
aggressively unhappy families and sanitized Hallmark sentimentality, occupy an
interesting space in entertainment. Big,
starry ensemble casts assemble to fight and

laugh and cry and realize something profound about life, love and the season of giving with a backdrop of magazine perfect
interiors, idyllic snowfall and a soundtrack
of perfectly curated carols.
Theyre not high art and theyre not trying to be, either. Their predictability can be
comforting and grating at the same time,
especially when most of these stories spend
so much time indulging in the discontentedness of its well-off characters.
In Love the Coopers, from director

Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), four generations of an upper middle class family go
about their day separately before gathering
for their annual Christmas Eve dinner at the
home of Sam (John Goodman) and
Charlotte (Diane Keaton). Most are dreading it.
Sam and Charlotte are putting on one last
show before deciding to announce their separation. Their daughter, Eleanor (Olivia
Wilde), is drinking the hours away in the
airport with a stranger (Jake Lacy) to minimize her time at home. Their son, Hank (Ed
Helms), is trying to hide the fact that he
doesnt have a job. And Charlottes jealous
sister Emma (Marisa Tomei) has resorted to
shoplifting to avoid having to actually
spend money on her sister and subconsciously to avoid the evening altogether.
It goes on: Theres the bow-tie sporting,

Cole Porters Kiss Me, Kate is loaded with memorable

songs along with a clever story (book by Sam and Bella
Spewack) involving ex-spouses playing the contentious
leads in Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew.
However, Broadway by the Bays staging of this perennial favorite is a mixed bag. The singing and acting are
uneven, but the dancing, choreographed by Nicole Helfer,
is generally quite good.
Its at its best in Too Darn Hot, featuring super-hot
dancing by Isaiah Boyd as Paul, the male stars dresser for a
Baltimore production of Shrew.
That male star is Fred Graham (Daniel Cameron), formerly married to the female star, Lilli Vanessi (Amie Shapiro).
Just like their Shrew characters, Petruchio and
Katherine, their relationship is rocky, to say the least.
Underneath all that bickering, though, they still love each
other.
The shows secondary couple are Bill Calhoun (Zach
Padlo), who has a gambling problem, and Lois Lane (Leah
Shesky), an airhead. He plays Lucentio to her Bianca in
Shrew. Shesky is one of the shows better singers, as
heard in Always True to You in My Fashion.
As with Fred and Lilli, theres not enough chemistry
between Bill and Lois.
Comic highlights come from Ken Boswell and Ray
DAmbrosio, who play two polite but persistent gangsters
who come to collect a gambling debt and wind up in the
show. They have a fun song, Brush Up Your Shakespeare.
Perhaps the most memorable songs are Wunderbar, So
in Love, From This Moment On and Another Opnin
Another Show.
The fine orchestra, led from the keyboard by musical
director Dolores Duran-Cefalu, provides solid accompaniment for these songs and the others.
The relatively bare bones but serviceable set is by Andrew
Kaufmann.
Milissa Carey directs. She brings extra knowledge to this
show-within-a-show because she played Lilli in Foothill
Music Theatres 1996 production.
This BBB production runs about two and a half hours with
one intermission.
It will continue at the Fox Theatre, 2215 Broadway,
Redwood City, through Nov. 22. For tickets and information call (650) 579-5565 or visit www.broadwaybythebay.org.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
THE BURLINGAME HISTORICAL

SOCIETY PREPARES TO CELEBRATE
ITS 4 0 TH ANNIVERSARY. Youll find an
eclectic collection of artifacts, displays and
exhibits at the Burlingame Historical
Societys museum inside the Burlingame
Train Station in downtown Burlingame. The
society, founded on Dec. 3, 1975, holds over
125,000 artifacts, photographs, manuscripts and items of interest in its archives,
from photographs of Teddy Roosevelts visit
to Burlingame in 1903 to Miss Burlingame
of 1935s wedding dress. The society is comprised of volunteers who serve on the board
of directors, and as archivists, researchers
and museum docents.
Jennifer Pfaff, President of the Burlingame
Historical Society, said: There are many
ways to help us carry on another 40 years:
the easiest is simply by donating $40 tax
deductible dollars to our organization (information online at burlingamehistory.org).
Being a museum docent a few times a year is
another way to help. No experience is necessary though it comes in handy to have
lived a few years in our city three hours
greeting people who visit the museum, the
first Sunday of the month. If you like to
walk, a great way to help is by photographing the homes in your neighborhood,
because many from the earliest eras are disappearing faster than we can document. Just
make sure that each digital image is marked
with the street address and year. Finally, if
people have old photographs, they can be
scanned and donated to us on a DVD, with
proper identification where available. These
are ways the community can help us with our
primary mission to preserve our artifacts,
and to educate.
The Society also invites the public to
enjoy tales of Burlingame and Hillsborough
history from any computer. Like the museum
inside the train station, the online exhibit
space is periodically updated with in-depth
reviews of individual subjects related to the
area, with topics that include Discovering
Subdivision History: Lyon & Hoag, Easton
Addition and Mills Estates; Peninsula
Royalty: The Founding Families of
Burlingame-Hillsborough; A Leafy Legacy:
The story of Burlingames trees; A Story of
the Many Grocery Stores of Burlingame; and
Pacific City, The Coney island of the West.

Society Vice President Russ Cohen said:
The Burlingame Historical Society has contributed to the quality of life in Burlingame
since its inception some 40 years ago. From
restoring a long forgotten painted billboard
on California Drive to repainting the cupola
on Park Road, to opening a museum inside
the Burlingame Train Station to writing the
definitive history of Burlingame in its book
Burlingame Centennial 1908-2008 to providing walking tours for thousands of thirdgraders to embedding historical markers
along Burlingame Avenue and much more.
Our $40 4 40 effort is a simple way to support our efforts and help us continue to do the
good work that we do.
BURLINGAME HISTORICAL SOCIETY PARTICULARS. The Burlingame
Historical Society Museum, located in the
Burlingame Train Station, 290 California
Drive at Burlingame Avenue, is open the first
Sunday of each month (except July), from 1
p.m. to 4 p.m. Society membership is open
to all individuals and associations who have
an interest in the history of the area regardless of their city of residence. Quarterly
meetings are open to the public and attendance is free of charge. For information visit

Ailing Tamar Braxton
exits Dancing with the Stars
LOS ANGELES Tamar Braxton has taken
herself out of the competition on Dancing
with the Stars because of illness.
Series
producer
BBC
Worldwide
Productions said Wednesday that Braxton
asked to withdraw from the ABC TV dance
contest for medical reasons, which it did not
specify.
On her Instagram account, Braxton wrote
that shes been diagnosed with blood clots
in her lungs and was announcing her departure from the show with a heavy heart.
Shes also dropping out as a guest singer
with Kems Promise to Love tour, she said.
COOPERS
(Alan Arkin) and his lonely, depressive cafe
waitress (Amanda Seyfried). June Squibb is
there to be sassy. The film jumps around
aimlessly until they all finally make it to
dinner.
It would be disingenuous not to mention
the fact that going into the movie, I didnt
realize it was set in my hometown of Mt.
Lebanon, a mid-size suburb just south of
Pittsburgh. Snow and highly specific nostalgia only have so much emotional currency, though. Nelson finds beauty in the small
moments and the power of a throwback
soundtrack peppered with Bob Dylan, Nina
Simone and Otis Redding that helps carry
the story along.
Not everything works, to be sure. Helms
is out-of-place annoying as the affectless,
underemployed dad, and the movie seems
unnecessarily cruel to his ex-wife (Alex
Borstein). A Tomei bit falls flat. Shes
trapped in a cop car trying to psychoanalyze
an underused Anthony Mackie and realizing
Important things about her own life in the
process.
If only the script had forgone a few of
these plot lines and focused more on Wilde
the true standout of the star-studded cast.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
People in the news

Braxton posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed, looking wan and holding a teddy
bear. Her Dancing with the Stars partner,
Valentin Chmerkovskiy, was at her side.
Her decision came after she nearly missed
last Mondays show.
Dancing with the Stars host Tom
Bergeron told the audience that Braxton had
been taken to the hospital earlier in the day,
after a dress rehearsal.
Toward the end of the live broadcast,
Braxton was shown rushing back to the studio to rejoin Chmerkovskiy on stage to
avoid elimination.
Eleanor is, in some ways, given the oddest
subplot. Shes a playwright, shes dating a
married guy, and shes convinced her parents
will be disappointed that shes still single
so she asks her airport buddy Joe (Lacy)
to come back and pretend hes her
boyfriend. In Wildes deft hands, Eleanor
becomes the most relatable and human of
the bunch.
Perhaps its the soothing, storybook
quality of Steve Martins narration, or the
predictable third act turn, but Love the
Coopers does come together in the end.
Because days later, its not the annoying
jokes and tropes that linger (and there are
many); its the sweet sincerity of the films
strongest assets that rise above the chaos.
Its the genuinely charming banter and burgeoning romance between two near
strangers. Its Keaton and Goodman screaming and laughing while inner tubing down a
giant hill. Its Wilde and Keatons affecting,
painfully real and too-short scenes together
as mother and daughter. Its even Arkin and
Seyfrieds platonic affection for one another.
Maybe a genuine emotional connection is
not one to be second guessed.
Love the Coopers, a CBS Films release,
is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for thematic elements, language and some sexuality.
Running time: 107 minutes. Two and a half
stars out of four.

RULING

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney,

an appointee of President George W.
Bush, ruled last year that Californias
death penalty was an empty promise
with unpredictable delays that led to
arbitrary and rare executions that violated the Constitutions Eighth
Amendment.
More than 900 people have been
sentenced to death in California since
1978, but only 13 have been executed.
The ruling by three justices appointed by Democratic presidents came as
the state tries to revive executions
that have been stalled nearly a decade
and as supporters and opponents of
the death penalty take to the streets to
get dueling referendums on the state
ballot next year.
The appeals court did not address the
validity of claims by a Los Angeles
man sentenced to die for the 1992 rape
and murder of his girlfriends mother
because the lower court applied a new
legal theory instead of federal law that
existed at the time of his conviction.
Many agree ... that Californias
capital punishment system is dysfunctional and that the delay between sentencing and execution in California is
extraordinary, Justice Susan Graber
wrote. But the purpose of federal
(review) is to ensure that state convictions comply with the federal law in
existence at the time the conviction
became final, and not to provide a
mechanism for the continuing reexamination of final judgments based
upon later emerging legal doctrine.
The opinion removes another
obstacle state officials faced to resume
executions at San Quentin State

Prison that have been on hold since a
different federal judge ordered an overhaul of the states lethal injection procedures in 2006.
The state is attempting to address
those concerns by proposing a single-drug method that would replace
multi-drug combinations that have led
to problems in several states.
The state has scheduled a hearing on
the proposal in January, but there is a
nationwide shortage of execution
drugs and supporters and opponents of
capital punishment dont expect executions to rapidly resume.
Lawyers for inmate Ernest DeWayne
Jones said they were disappointed in
the ruling Thursday in his case in
California and considering their next
move as Jones presses his appeals.
Jones could seek review from a larger panel of 9th Circuit justices, the
U.S. Supreme Court or even return to
state courts with his appeal.
While Carneys decision will not set
a precedent, it could have an impact on
other judges reasoning, said Loyola
Law School
professor Laurie
Levenson.
It could also be the basis for appeals
by killers convicted in the future,
which might force an appellate court
to consider whether the California
death penalty is unconstitutional.
The court sidestepped that issue in
the Jones case by focusing on procedural grounds.
They stay as far away from the merits of this case as they can, Levenson
said. This doesnt answer the question of whether we have a system that
ELECTION
is conducted Nov. 16.

San Mateo and Yolo counties participated in a pilot program this election
to see whether the state may want to
pursue all-mail elections in the future.
It was made possible by legislation,
Assembly Bill 2028, crafted by
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco.
The intent is to increase voter
turnout, save money and produce
quicker results.
The average number of ballots cast
in the past four similar elections has
been 85,000, Mullin said.
The raw data shows that we have
reversed a long-term trend of declining
turnout in local, off-year elections,
Mullin wrote the Daily Journal in an
email.
Mullin hopes the results will show
the benefits of moving to all-mail
elections statewide.
Im proud that AB 2028 can play a
role in this election evolution,

tion, Church said.
This is the highest turnout we have
had in the past 15 years for an election
of this type, Church said.
Turnout has trended down in recent
years, he said.
The election will also bring significant savings, he said.
The county only opened 32 polling
places instead of the 209 polling
places it usually does on Election Day
for those who wanted to vote in person.
On election night, Churchs office
posted the results from the 68,988 ballots it had received by Monday, Nov.
2.
Church has 30 days to certify the
election after a 1 percent manual tally
23
violates the Eighth Amendment.

Attorney Michael Laurence argued
on behalf of Jones that inmates can
linger on death row 30 to 40 years and
its random which ones are executed,
quoting a 1972 U.S. Supreme Court
opinion that said being put to death
was as unusual as being struck by
lightning.
The state attorney generals office
argued that delays in carrying out executions were necessary to ensure fairness.
Decades-long delays in getting
inmates to the death chamber could be
addressed by voters next year if death
penalty supporters gather enough signatures to put a reform measure on the
ballot that calls for providing more
appellate lawyers and speedier
appeals.
Opponents of the death penalty are
also gathering signatures for a ballot
measure that would ban capital punishment in California. A similar measure was defeated by 4 percentage
points in 2012.
Opposition to executions has been
gaining traction in some states.
The Connecticut Supreme Court
ruled this year that the death penalty
served no legitimate purpose.
Nebraska lawmakers repealed capital
punishment, but death penalty advocates responded with a statewide petition drive that puts the issue to voters
a year from now.
Jones, 51, has been on death row
two decades for the murder of Julia
Miller, who was stabbed 14 times. The
paroled rapist was connected to her
rape through his DNA and he admitted
the slaying.
Jones said the state didnt provide a
fair and timely review of his case, the
delay exceeded that in other states,
and death rows conditions constituted
torture.
Mullin wrote.
The bill gives San Mateo County the
authority to conduct up to three allmail ballot elections until the end of
2017. Presidential elections, however,
are excluded from the pilot.
Under AB 2028, every voter gets a
ballot in the mail; return envelopes
are postage paid; voters can still
vote in person; and the county provides a report to the state on the outcome.
Most voters in the county already
prefer to vote by mail. In the 2013
general election, 77 percent of voters
did so by mail.
In the county now, 57 percent of registered voters are permanent vote by
mail.
It gives San Mateo County the
authority to conduct up to three allmail ballot elections until the end of
2017.
All in all, the election went
extremely well, Mullin said.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Jean L. Uhland aka Jean L. Booher aka
Jean Lorrain Booher
Case Number: 126250
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Jean L. Uhland aka
Jean L. Booher aka Jean Lorrain Booher.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Janette Fulton and Michelle Pavan in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Janette Fulton and Michelle
Pavan be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: DEC 02, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

WAGES
consider implementing its own standards.
Assistant City Manager Matt Bronson
said staff sought to provide an unbiased,
comprehensive analysis of options and
existing conditions as the council publicly
discusses this sensitive topic for the first
time.
This is a complex issue that is linked to
a broader issue of affordability within our
community, Bronson said. Wages and
housing and other ways to be self-sufficient
are all interconnected in this area that is
booming economically, yet has a very high
cost of living. And I think there are different
ways to look at how to advance the interests
of those who are trying to make ends meet
in this high-cost area.
Based on the California Family Economic
Self-Sufficiency Standard, supporting a
two-parent family of four in San Mateo
County would require an hourly wage of
$21.17 or $89,440, according to a staff
report.
City staff studied regional, state and
national minimum wages as well as the
potential impacts to businesses since the
council identified examining the minimum,
BRIDGES
repairs now underway, the three remaining
structures at Monte Diablo, Santa Inez and
Poplar avenues are next in line. Caltrain
anticipates having all four bridges replaced
and the streets reopened by summer 2016.
Since Caltrain began discussing the
replacement of the century-old structures, it
has sought to minimize the amount of time
it would need to close the heavily-used
tracks, said Project Manager Patrick Kitto.
The national industry standard for this
type of project is to typically close the
tracks for about 55 hours. However, because
tens of thousands of riders rely on Caltrain
as a means of transportation every day,
Kitto said they were able to narrow it down
to about 24 hours.
Caltrain is actually on the aggressive
end of doing these cutovers (moving from
operating on one system or bridge to a new
one). Most railroads across the country will
take full weekends, to close the tracks,
Kitto said. Because our area is congested
and we carry a lot of passengers, we mini-

living and prevailing wage ordinances as a

priority earlier this year.
Several cities in neighboring counties
have enacted their own minimum wage
increases such as Mountain View, Palo Alto,
San Jose, Sunnyvale, San Francisco,
Oakland and Emeryville. Across the state,
Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego are
also considering increases, according to the
report.
Councilman Rick Bonilla has long been a
supporter of encouraging developers to
agree to pay prevailing wages. With the
cost of living skyrocketing while wages
have remained stagnant, its crucial for the
city to consider the well-being of those who
work in San Mateo, Bonilla said.
We have a housing crisis right now.
Wages have not kept up with the cost of living and definitely of housing. So housing
and wages are two ends of the same equation, Bonilla said.
Perhaps one of the most astonishing findings revealed in the report is the discrepancy in life expectancy amongst county residents. Making a livable income is one of
the strongest predictors of a persons health
with better access to medical care, healthier
meals, quality housing, education and more,
according to the report.
Within San Mateo County alone,
Atherton residents typically outlive East
Palo Alto residents by 19 years, according

to the report.
The fiscal impacts of such wage regulations are hard to determine. The states
Legislative Analysts Office evaluated the
proposed statewide ballot measure to
increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2021
and found the fiscal effects and local tax revenue were extremely varied with estimates
ranging from a loss of hundreds of millions
to a gain of more than $1 billion, according
to the report.
If the council were to proceed with a minimum or living wage ordinance, there would
be direct costs to the citys budget. A minimum wage of $15 would affect 171 city
employees and cost an estimated $62,000 a
year. A $22 living wage would affect 350
city employees, according to the report.
Staff met with several stakeholders to garner initial public feedback. Proponents
noted the cost of living has increased while
low wages have remained. They also suggested increased wages would improve
health and reduce employee turnover rates,
according to the report.
Business associations and other stakeholders said adjusting wages could increase
costs to consumers, the need for businesses
to cut employees or benefits and possibly
moving out of San Mateo. They also
expressed a concern for small businesses
and noted some may turn to automating

tasks instead of offering jobs. Raising it to
$15 would be a stark increase from the current amount and if it were to proceed, they
suggested a phased approach.
Bronson said there are various intricacies
that would need to be considered. For example, options include exempting smaller
businesses, employees who make tips or
even workers who are under 18 years old.
Another issue is enforcement and who or
what department would be responsible for
ensuring employers are abiding by a city
ordinance, Bronson said.
Unlike in the case of Santa Clara County
where cities contract with the city of San
Jose for enforcement of their wage ordinances, there is no enforcement entity currently set up in San Mateo County, according to the report.
Still, government has long regulated what
private industries pay employees, Bonilla
said.
Clearly, the federal government and the
state government have this regulation
already in place, Bonilla said. All were
doing is seeking to increase it to match the
cost of living here.
mize the window.

The tracks were completely closed
between 12:30 a. m. Saturday, Nov. 7,
through 12:30 a.m. Sunday. During that
time, passengers were transported via bus
from the Hayward Park to the Broadway stations. A similar schedule that also involves
single tracking for part of the weekend will
be used during the other San Mateo bridge
replacements, Kitto said.
Unlike other replacements or grade separations such as in San Bruno where there is
ample amount of space to temporarily create
new tracks to the side and keep service consistent, the bridges abut a primarily residential neighborhood creating physical constraints, Kitto said.
Knowing it had to work within a given
footprint and the proximity of residences,
Caltrain had the bridges and substructure
largely built offsite. Because the time constraints prevent crews from casting concrete on site, which would typically take
28 days to cure, the new substructure supporting the new bridge had to be pre-cast.
Kitto said they were relieved to find the
pieces fit like a puzzle.
Having the measurements and a template exact is key, Kitto said. All of the
pieces proved to fit together perfectly. We
had no tolerance issues.

Once the substructures are complete, its
time to add the steel bridges that are built
in Utah and shipped to California. Because
of the limited storage space around the
project site, the bridges are brought in
only when theyre ready to be assembled.
No on-site welding is required and the
bridges are bolted together then moved
into place with a hydraulic crane, Kitto
said.
Anyone whos ridden the train in the past
few weeks has likely seen the bridge being
assembled adjacent to Caltrains right-ofway.
Having the correct tools in this case a
250-ton crane that moves the substructure
into place and the hydraulic trailer with
articulated feet that lifts the bridge from
where its assembled on stilts into place
is key to completing the project within a
narrow time frame, Kitto said.
Being able to make these superstructure
moves is what allows us to be able to do
this over a short window, Kitto said. Our
agreement with the city was that wed
never close two streets at the same time,
which is really driving our fabrication window.
Once the final street improvements like
new sidewalks, curbs and lighting under

the bridge are completed, Caltrain will proceed with rotating street closures near the
other bridges.
Ultimately, the goal is to upgrade the
outdated bridges with more seismically
safe and taller bridges the higher clearance will reduce the number of trucks that
currently get stuck under the relatively
low-hanging bridges.
Now that the old Tilton Avenue bridge
has been demolished, Kitto said, Caltrain
can conduct furthers tests to get a firmer
idea about the structural integrity of the
extremely old steel.
They are 112 years old, the steel is significantly deteriorated. One thing we did do
is we have taken a couple of pieces of the
Tilton Avenue bridge and were going to do
destructive testing to see the strength of
the steel, Kitto said. While modern steel
is very consistent, we have really good
quality control and it comes out of the mill
the same every time; 100 years ago the steel
was very inconsistent.
